The plant is to be constructed adjacent to MOC’s existing olefin plant in Map Ta Phut, Rayong, Thailand and scheduled for completion in 2021.
This is an EP contract following the Front End Engineering Design (FEED) contract awarded to TOYO in the middle of last year. TOYO’s strong and long term relationship with SCG Chemicals and various attractive and aggressive proposals under FEED were highly evaluated, leading to the awarding of this project.
TOYO focuses on the expansion of the business opportunity of ethylene projects as its core business and this award becomes TOYO’s brilliant track record as TOYO’s 46th ethylene plant projects worldwide following on the ongoing ethylene projects in USA, Malaysia and Turkmenistan. This is also the 4th ethylene project in Thailand following on the past ethylene projects for National Petrochemical Company (Current PTT Global Chemical Public Company Limited), Rayong Olefin Co. Ltd (a subsidiary of SCG Chemicals) and PTT Polyethylene Co., Ltd. TOYO will continue to contribute to the development of the petrochemical industry in rapidly growing Southeast Asia, including Thailand.
